Something that we all wonder about... even in an un-conspiracy related scenario, what would you do during an emergency? During a natural disaster, major power outage, martial law, or a pandemic?

This is just a list of basic survival tips that we should all know.

Just a couple weeks ago, I came across another documentary on youtube from the History Channel that I found pretty informative, enlightening, and it really paints a great, detailed picture for you if you're ever caught in the city when TSHTF. First, I'll post a documentary from the History Channel about life after a pandemic.

For some reason, every time I post a video on ATS, it never works... so, I'll post the links. I recommend this documentary to everyone who's a full-on prepper.

After Armegeddon

Please tell me what you think of the documentary, I personally think it's pretty well done. But, if any of you see any flaws that I haven't noticed, please point them out to me, I don't want them to go unnoticed, I want to learn, like all of us (That's If you watch the documentary, which I won't blame you if you don't watch it just because I say so. You should look into it some time, though).

Now, I also want to post links about hunting--because hunting, skinning, dressing and eating animals may well be important in the future. Here are the links below;

How To Cleanly Field Dress A Hunted Deer

How To Field Dress A Squirrel

You can hunt small game with a pellet or bb gun as long as it has considerable power. Also, you can purchase a crossbow. Crossbows are relatively easy to use, and are much quieter than guns.

Also, you want to be prepared for natural disasters and nature attacks, weather you're a conspiracy freak or not.

How To Survive A Hurricane

How To Treat A Snake Bite

How To Survive Lost In The Woods

How To Escape A Vehicle Sinking In Water

How To Survive A Bear Attack

Now, what would you do if a pandemic swept over the world? Here are some tips;

Also, GET A GAS MASK.

And what about civil unrest or martial law?

That's my general list of decent survival and info videos. Please, PLEASE let me know if I left anything out.

God bless

I saw it a few years ago, it is a probable scenario, although too much violence and chaos imo. Even if/when SHTF I don't know how willing people would be to kill each other for gas.

Maybe that's because I believe in the goodness of people, I believe that some people will kill for things such as gas but most people will try to find partners and especially knowledgeable partners who know how to get things done and grow food, build shelters, or have any other professional knowledge that can help surviving when SHTF, and that's where people will get together will become less vulnerable and more independent. These communities will be mostly closed and remote once established, from fear of the outside world.

People who will try to make it on their own or with their family won't make it for the long run, unless the families will know how to work together and efficient, and not all responsibility will turn on the husband/father (unless he's exceptionally knowledgeable and trained)

That's my two cents, I could be wrong honestly... No one really knows how it'll be when SHTF, it is all predictions.

While I don't think anyone can be truly prepared for a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI event, the links you provided all in one post are appreciated and should give people food for thought.

I rarely say it, but S&F!

Usually I just give those out to well thought posts and threads And this is one of those, short, sweet and to the point.

Well I watched the documentary last night until I fell asleep int he armchair towards the end somewhere. I will try and catch the end, it was pretty good imo.

There were somethings that were probably not so accurate and the Dad was kind of foolish if he thought he was going to be the protector of his family.

One thing none of us think about is the probability we will end up with nothing, everything you have can be taken including the clothes on your back, your shoes.

Rape and beatings would have happened in the scenario, and I doubt the family would have escaped after the mom shot the good ole boys and left her gun on the ground afterwards, lol.

Lots of flaws but a pretty good beginning for many people, something to think about. I actually got a little spooked and when I first fell asleep my little dog woke me barking, I spooked him snoring I guess, lol.

The military for one thing would have had a much stronger presence and it would not be to protect the citizens, they would have been outfitted for contaminated population and to shoot anyone who came near them.

I did like the little town sheriff and his idea of safety. I feel asleep when the family went to church...

Be Aware: Here and Now

Here is a message I got yesterday that seems to apply in this situation.

Antar,

I am not here to give you a dogma. A dogma makes one certain. I am not here to give you any promise for the future - any promise for the future makes one secure.

I know you come here seeking some certainty, some creed, some 'ism', somewhere to belong to, someone to rely upon. You come here out of your fear. You are searching a sort of beautiful imprisonment - so that you can live without any awareness.

I am here simply to make you alert and aware. That is to be herenow - with all the insecurity that life is, with all the uncertainty that life is, with all the danger that life is.

Osho
